ASSURANCE IS OF THE LORD
MEMORY VERSE: - Ro 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
BIBLE READING: - Rom 8: 1 – 39
MESSAGE
Salvation is the first work of grace that must be done in the heart of a true seeker whereby he is convicted of his iniquities and evil deeds by the spirit of God; this leads to genuine confession of sins to God and not man(Isaiah 1:18) with firm determination not to go back into those sins. He thereafter accepts Jesus as his personal Lord and savior and asks for cleansing by the precious blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross for the whole world.
Even if the man of God or the evangelist that preached to you says, now you are a child of God; you are born again, you accept that by faith, claim it by faith, but the God’s assurance by his spirit bearing witness with you that you are a child of God is the most important.
Do I hear you say, how is that possible? Trinity is actively involved in the work of salvation of souls. Christ is the Lamb of God that saves; God has the power to draw men to Christ for salvation [John 6:44]; Holy Spirit convicts of sin and iniquities and as well bears witness with the saved person.
I hear this regularly whenever I am praying or preaching the word to people, I hear this assuring voice within me saying “you are mine”. Each time I hear this, I always ask this question, whose voice is that? And immediately the response is always the Holy Spirit.
You need to examine your Christian foundation, whether it is known in heaven that you are saved. Do you receive this witness within yourself? If yes, abide in Christ to the end and if no this is the time of grace to seek the Lord for the real Christian experience of salvation.
Remember that in 2Cor 10:18 Paul says “for not he that commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends”
Confession of the Day
I am a child of God, holy spirit bears witness with me on regular basis that I am his and by his grace I will abide in Christ to the end.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved ...

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. — HEBREWS 2:14 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
